Introduction

So, I get two or three emails a day, all basically asking the same thing: “Where can I learn about electronics?” In general, most of these people have seen some of my projects and want to be able to build similar things. Unfortunately, I have never been able to point them to a good site that really takes the reader through a solid introduction to microcontrollers and basic electronics.

To some extent, the structure of the material borrows from: The impressively good “What’s a microcontroller?” book (& now PDF) by Parallax. It’s for BASIC Stamps but is still a good read even if you don’t plan to use Stamps.“Spooky Arduino” – Todbot’s excellent (if fast-paced!) class on Arduino projects for Halloween.
